The Way to a Man's Heart

A youKG fellow down at JBrunner would appear to have fpund marriage a failure, judging by a l&icter he addressed to the local paper the other day and which duly appeared in type. He writes to the JBrunner News: — 'I am newly married and find that the game is not what it is cracked up to be. My wife professed to be a first-class cook, and I unfortunately believed her. I have had indigestion for two solid months, as a result of her handiwork. She knows more about making cream-puffs than she does of cooking a plain mutton chop, and can turn out a pineapple jelly to perfection, and yet can't pluck a fowl. The girls of to-day are far from practical.'

And is that to be the end of love's young dream ? Are the greasy chop and the leathern steak to come between a man and his wife and separate them for ever ? It seems very much like it. Bat dyspepsia, from which this young husband is evidently suffering, is doubtless responsible for the bitterness with which he expresses himself. I have heard of similar cases here in Anokland. I know of a casein which two fond hearts which used to beat as one now beat as two, simply because the husband refused to consume any longer the leaden scones and paving-stone-like pies manufactured by the wife of his bosom. This oouple dissolved partnership < by mutual oonsent. 1 Girls, if you would retain the love of your husband after the honeymoon is over— learn to cook. The way to a man's heart is proverbially through his— er— -digestive apparatus.
